My favorite LJ birthday wish<\/a> posted by <\/p>\n

Last night’s birthday party was very cool. I prepped a bunch of snacky things, a salad, and made potato leek soup with asparagus. Much fun was had. Jeff was introduced to the friends and got along well. I got to see a person or two I don’t often see. Jeff and helped me clean the place up afterwards, and much of the kitchen is now tidier than it has been since I moved in. bought the pies. put the candles on and lit them. I now have an excess of blue moon, but only because I bought a 12 pack and so did one of my guests. =) Btw, pomegranate fusion smirnoff ice was agreed to be an abomination by most of my guests. I was simply indifferent. And Jeff stayed over, that was an unmitigated good. <\/p>\n

I also settled on a place to live. The space is sadly non-conducive to dinner and board game parties. (more conducive than ‘s place, but not massively so.) And sub-ideally located. The train ride will probably be about 10 minutes longer each way. But it is not badly located, the gym and the L stop are both within 10 minutes walk (as are both Whole foods and more conventional grocery stores) and it has central heat and air as well as laundry in unit. I intend to stay at least 2 years, because I need to get out of the habit of moving. It is also dirt cheap, so I will have no excuse for not paying down my credit card debt. My roomie to be has indicated that he’s totally fine with me having people over, though he won’t do so too terribly often himself (he likes to do it “right” when he does it. I think the serving of soup in coffee cups last night would have offended his sensibilities.) I also need to dispose of much of my furniture. Unless someone asks for it, most of it is going back to the brown elephant.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
